Nor  caange  of  fortune,  nor  your  cruel  hat< 
Shall  cure  my  pa. lion,  or  its  warmth  ; 

Faife  as  you  are,  how  dare  you  trr.fb  ane 
To  winds  a  id  waves  as  treacherous  as  \ou 
Think':'!:  will  the  gods  you  fcrve,  if  go;* 
For  crimes  like  your's  their  pun! 
If  injur'd  innocence  their  care  be  made, 
Tiio'  1  ib'^'ivc,  their  certain  \  i 


What  if  your  bark,  by  adveri, 
Should  on  fome  barb'rous  coaft,  like  mine,  i 
Think  that  you  fee  yotir  friends  and  you  pi 
By  favage  people,  greedy  of  your  blooi 
Who  then  will  fi.atch  you  from  your  fell  d 
You'll  fi:ul  no  YARICO  to  ihield  }  on  iherr-

But  you,  r  .1*  :ny  c,  its  and  pray'rs, 

...     iy  \vro:i^3,  and  mock,  my  failing  tears  ; 
Not  one  return  for  ail  the  mighty  debt, 
But  cruel  rage,  and  perfecutin<f  hate  j 
This,  this  is  ali  your  nature  can  bellow, 
A«id  thus  \  ou  pay  the  gratitude  YOU  owe. 

Time  and  my  griefs  this  body  ihall  decay, 
My  moving  frame  ihall  be  but  lifelefs  cFay  ; 
Then  peaceful  in  thefllent  grave  I'll  reft, 
Still  this  \varm  blood,  and  calm  this  glowing  bread 
But  the  remembrance  of  my  wrongs  Ihall  live, 
Your  treachery  whole  ages  ihall  furvive  ; 
Men  yet  unborn  will  my  hard  lot  relate, 
And  ciufe  your  cruelty,  and  weep  my  fcte  : 
And  if  in  diilant  years  feme  haplefs  maid, 
Shall  be  by  faithlefs,  barb'/ous  man  betrayed  ; 
Coudem./d  in  iharpcil  mifery  to  rove, 
Uablefs'd  with  hope,  yet  curs'd  with  fatal  love  j
